The Attempt Fails.

PARIS, Feb. ia little episode behind
the scenes is reported which has not been
printed, and is not even known outside a
limited circle here. Over a week ago a
friendly hint came from Berlin that General
BoulaDger ought to retire, and NJ. Grevy had
the suggestion cautiously conveyed to the
General. He, perfectly understanding that
the Elysee desired the thing as much as Bls-
marck, assented, and gave in his resignation,
but not without comforting with NJ. Glenn
eDceau and the Radical leaders. They put
pressure on the Cabinet TO refuse the resigna-
ton. which it did, Mr.. Goblet being over
ruled by his colleagues with predictions, one
might say threats OF q peculiar revolt il Gen.
eral Boulanger were sacrificed. Thus the
popular idol has further secured his position
by blunder of NJ. Grevy.
Meanwhile, though people profess TO be-
Heve in peace, the public state is one of pre-
paration for the worst. Large contracts for
war material are being given at prices a
quarter to third higher than Government
prices to private firms. For the moment the
fear OF an overt attack from Germany has
relaxed, but in the same ratio the belief in
cTeases that war is inevitable between Russia
and Austria. and there is little hope that it
can be localized. More than this, secret
negotiations have begun again between
France and Russia.

Reception of the Cardinals.

ROME, Feb. 1.-THE Propaganda will give
q banquet in honor OF Cardinals Gibbons and
Taschereau after the consistory. The Ameri-
can patriarch at the Pope's reception to-
morrow will present His Holiness with

astical, have called upon Cardinal
Gibbons, among them Cardinals Jaco-
bini and Parocchi. Cardinal Gibbons
this afternoon quietly visited several
members of the sacred congregation. Be-
sides receiving visitors the Cardinal is ouslly
occupied in various matters. Cardinal Tas-
chereau resides at the French seminary at
Santa Chiard.

Hnme Rnla Certain.

LONDON, FFeb. 13.-Here in England, OF
course, nothing rivals in interest the eternal
question. The solidity of the majority
against Parnells amendment has served to
clear the air. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has
definitely pledged the Ministry TO coercion.
prompt and sweeping. 1t is evident that the
House will vote it by majority of at least
seventy. 1t is equally certain that the Irish
will resist coercion this time as they never
did before. We may, therefore, expect a
bloody and turbulent spring in Ireland as an
apparently necessary prelude to a coming
election which will give the country home
rule. Since the Tories must have recourse
to the wretched old expedient of force, it is
fortunate that il will come at time when
no treason and no outrages serve as an ex-
cuse. The Irish may suffer temporarily by
this, but not even the Unionist apologists
for coercion can deny that il is likely to
nasten the English conclusion that such a
tragic farce is played out.

Futile Efrorts of vessel Coal Passers.

NEw YORK, Feb. 14.-An attempt to cause
trouble among the firemen and coal passers
on some Of the coastwise lines yesterday and
Saturday proved failure. The coal passers
and fremen on the Ward line struck just as
the steamer Saratoga was throwing off her
lines. The men, however, had signed the
ships articles, and were, therefore,
mutiny. This measure being threatened,
they returned to work in preference to b eng
placed In irons and the vessel proceeded to sea,
three hours late. The fremen on the Clyde
Line steamer Yemsssee also left their vessel
as the whistle was blowing for the boat to
leave the dock. Men from two other boats
were promptly put on board, and the delay
was not more than an hours duration. On
the Mallory dock four firemen quit work on
the Carondolet.
Many of the strikers have returned to
work, the employers in most cases, pre-
ferring them, with all their faults, TO the
new hands.

An EmbezzIing school Teacher.

GREENsBURG, Feb. 12.-Charles Stark, a
school teacher of Let's Corner, was arrested
yesterday for stealing money from Adams
Brothers Il Boyd, of the came place. He
taught school during the week and clerked
for the firm on Saturdays, and was allowed
to 90 to the money drawer and make his own
change. The firm for several weeks past had
been missing money, and Stark was suspi-
cioned, The firm set trap for him, and he
walked right into it the first day. Money
was placed in the drawer; Stark came in,
asked Tor a cigar, and was told to go and get
it, which he did, and then he went behind
the counter to drop the price of the cigar
went away the parties who were watching
him counted the money in the drawer, and
it was short $1.55. Instead of dropping the
5 cents into the drawer he took from it
$l.50. When confronted with the crime he
Indignantly denied, but afterward made a
confession, in which he admitted taking that
amount and $27 more at divers times. He
appealed to them to say nothing about it
and ne would refund the amount. He
started with the Township Trustee to go TO
his Office to settle his account, to raise the
money to pay the firm, but on their way he
stated he could not do so. He went home,
changed his clothing and tried to make his
escape, but was overtaken by the Horse-thief
Detective Association. He was brought here
yesterday, and being unable to give bond, he
was placed in Jail. HIS arrest has caused
sensation, as he is we'll known, having
taught school in different places in this
county for several years. He was married
